Karen Knorr. Belgravia

Viac o knihe

Karen Knorr's Belgravia, describes through images and accompanying quotes, class and power amongst the international and wealthy during the beginning of Thatcherism in London. Produced between 1979 and 1981, the images are now available for the first time. The work describes the 'everyday' of a privileged minority, and whilst historically, portraiture of the upper classes has tended to be flattering, the combination of portraits and quotes from the subjects recorded during their sessions, brings Knorr's work closer to satire
